Okay....so here's the thing. I want to start looking online for the best websites, resources, forums and support for women and couples dealing with failed pregnancies. There's just not enough dialogue, and there's no coordination of resources for women trying to deal.
So. Only just beginning, but here are a few pages to start:

If you know of great information, resources and any of the above, let me know. One of these days I am going to write about my experiences and those of other women. Whether an article or a book, I don't know, but there needs to be more said on this issue....
But, today was a good day. I now have an appointment with a specialist to find out why I have had three miscarriages in a row, and I also have found someone to talk to professionally to work through this past year, which I have to admit has really bruised my spirit. Time to get healthy and see what's up. Having direction and a plan to move forward helps immensely. Here's to 2010, people. Let's do it up the way we should~!

ReplyDeleteThe link above connects to info on a book authored by Ann Douglas. She's a Canadian parenting expert that I have a lot of respect for. Perhaps it might be a helpful resource for you or any of your readers?
So sorry to hear of your miscarriage, Pamela. I'm happy to hear that you've found a specialist as well as a counsellor -- talking helps. If this particular counsellor doesn't "fit" for you -- don't give up, try another until it feels right. Thinking of you ... Julie
finding more great resources as blog posts on the Everything2 site. This post is "good" ...
